{"id":"CVE-2018-13054","details":"An issue was discovered in Cinnamon 1.9.2 through 3.8.6. The cinnamon-settings-users.py GUI runs as root and allows configuration of (for example) other users' icon files in _on_face_browse_menuitem_activated and _on_face_menuitem_activated. These icon files are written to the respective user's $HOME/.face location. If an unprivileged user prepares a symlink pointing to an arbitrary location, then this location will be overwritten with the icon content.","modified":"2026-07-08T05:52:19.512069611Z","published":"2018-07-02T14:29:00.213Z","database_specific":{"unresolved_ranges":[{"source":"CPE_STRING","vendor_product":"debian:debian_linux","cpes":["cpe:2.3:o:debian:debian_linux:8.0:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"],"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"8.0"},{"last_affected":"8.0"}]}]},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2018/07/msg00011.html"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1083067"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/pull/7683"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/linuxmint/cinnamon","events":[{"introduced":"677b05ed76b516ebac914f05d4eba545f822d59a"},{"last_affected":"2499b0920ddbc86692f89cb54777486005add497"}],"database_specific":{"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:linuxmint:cinnamon:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*","extracted_events":[{"introduced":"1.9.2"},{"last_affected":"3.8.6"}],"source":"CPE_RANGE"}}],"versions":["3.8.6","3.8.5","3.8.4","3.8.3","3.8.2","3.8.1","3.8.0","master.mint18","3.6.7","3.6.6","3.6.5","3.6.4","3.6.3","3.6.2","3.6.1","3.6.0","3.4.4","3.4.3","3.4.2","3.4.1","3.4.0","3.2.8","3.2.7","3.2.6","3.2.5","3.2.4","3.2.3","3.2.2","3.2.1","3.2.0","3.0.7","3.0.6","3.0.5","3.0.4","3.0.3","3.0.2","3.0.1","3.0.0","2.8.6","2.8.5","2.8.4","2.8.0","2.8.3","2.8.2","2.8.1","2.6.13","2.6.12","2.6.11","2.6.10","2.6.9","2.6.8","2.6.5","2.6.7","2.6.6","2.6.4","2.6.3","2.6.2","2.6.1","2.6.0","2.4.6","2.4.5","2.4.4","2.4.3","2.4.2","2.4.1","2.4.0","2.2.14","2.2.13","2.2.12","2.2.11","2.2.10","2.2.9","2.2.8","2.2.7","2.2.6","2.2.5","2.2.4","2.2.3","2.2.2","2.2.1","2.0.14","2.0.13","2.0.12","2.0.11","2.0.10","2.0.8","2.0.7","2.0.6","2.0.5","2.0.4","2.0.3","2.0.2","2.0.1","2.0.0","1.9.2"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2018-13054.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H"}]}
